Has anyone ever converted the speed of an RC car to scale?

In other words, relative to the scale/size of the car and its feet per second, how many mph if it were full size?

In the video that Captain Slow posted, I'm pretty sure the commentator stated is was over 620mph (scale speed) that these things were reaching. (see from 1 min 45 sec onwards)

I can't imagine the reflex speed it takes to pilot one of those things competitively.

That battle for first place in the last vid was simply epic (and I rarely use that word!)

2:24. Awesome.

This video made me smile.

EDIT: That's 2:24 in the first video. The second one was cool too, but the first one, I can barely drive an RC car straight, much less sideways.
